A few snippets that I'm particularly proud of:

Cooking Light Diet

The repos for the Cooking Light Diet project are private on GitHub, so the only public part is the contribution graph on my profile. I've pulled out a few code samples from the "Cook" resource. The Cook pages are two of the most popular pages on the site, and I'm proud to have built them during our last UI refresh.

Meal View (screenshot)

When authenticated users navigate to the website, we send them to what we call the "Day View" page. This page shows them a quick overview of the meals we've planned for them for the current day. (Note: I've put a couple of the more interesting partials in the Gist, if you're interested in seeing them.)

When a user is ready to cook a meal, or just wants to take a peek at what's coming up for that meal, they land on the "Meal View" page. Most meals consist of an entree plus one or two side dishes. Each recipe is displayed in a tabbed interface, so it's easy for the user to switch between recipes while they're cooking. We took special care to design and develop this page to work on mobile devices (both phones and tablets), since the majority of our users don't have full computers on their kitchen counters!


Cook Controller

Here's the controller that handles it all. We get the user's time zone from JavaScript, and stash it in a cookie that the Application Controller uses for each request. Depending on the device's current time, we'll show them a different order of meals, with the meal that's most likely to be next in the most prominent position.

Code Fellows

One of the highlights of the Code Fellows program are the two Project Weeks, one in the middle of the bootcamp and one at the end.

For our first project week, I teamed up with a classmate to create Disc Cellar. Disc Cellar allows users to keep track of their library of DVDs, including which DVDs they're borrowing from friends and which they've loaned out to friends.

We used Bootstrap for the front-end styling, and integrated with Facebook for user authentication.

Here's a link to the GitHub repo, and the app is live on Heroku.
